AUTHENTICATE PLAIN invalid

I'm running ispconfig on a suse10 server. I have changed port 81 to 82 because of ipcop.
I have installed squirrelmail, but when I try to login I allways get this error:
Bad request: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN invalid

I'm using sendmail and in the squirrelmail configuration is:
IMAP Server : "the name of the server (/etc/hosts)"
5. IMAP Port : 143
6. Authentication type : plain
7. Secure IMAP (TLS) : 0
8. Server software : other
9. Delimiter : detect

Do I have to login with the complete email address or use the user name created by ispconfig (web2_username)?

thanks

I did not follow the perfect setup guide. I installed Suse and all the software needed for ISPconfig and follow the installations instructions.

With the user name found in /etc/passwd i was not able to login, get the same error: Bad request: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN invalid

The server is installed in a DMZ zone of the IPCop, with this IP address 192.168.3.201. I found this error in /var/log/mail:

Dec 14 19:35:13 griseu6 imapd[24832]: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN invalid host=griseu6.logicworks.pt [192.168.3.201]
Dec 14 19:35:13 griseu6 imapd[24832]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=??? host=griseu6.logicworks.pt [192.168.3.201]

Any ideas? Did I make anything wrong?

 

I don't have /etc/courier/ in my system.
I have enabled imap in the /etc/services file:

imap 143/tcp imap2 # Internet Message Access Protocol
imap 143/udp imap2 # Internet Message Access Protocol

pop3 110/tcp # Post Office Protocol - Version 3
pop3 110/udp # Post Office Protocol - Version 3

The port 143 enables plain text in imap.

Any more ideas?

 

Another point is I'm accessing squirrelmail using https and port 82.
Maybe this is not the problem!?

 

Which IMAP daemon do you have installed?

 

the package is imap-2004g_suse-16.2

 

should I install another imap package?

 

I suggest you install Courier, as shown on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.1_p5 :

Code:

yast -i courier-imap fam-server courier-authlib expect tcl

Don't forget to enable Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email in ISPConfig as Courier uses Maildir.

 

I cannot find courier-imap on my installations CDs. What I found is cyrus-imapd. Should I install this one?.
My system is SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.

 

No, don't install Cyrus, it's not supported by ISPConfig. Please run

Code:

yast

and search for courier packages. Do you find any?

 

No, I don't find any courier package.

Since I have SuSE Linux Enterprise 10, maybe the best thing to do is start all over from the beginning, install OpenSuSE 10.2 and follow http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_opensuse_10.2

What do you think?

 

Ok, I have installed OpenSuse 10.2 following the instructions on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_opensuse_10.2

Then I install ISPConfig-2.2.9, with this message at the end:

Congratulations! Your ISPConfig system is now installed. If you had to install quota, please take the steps described in the installation manual. Otherwise your system is now available without reboot.

Then I have changed port 81 to 82

Now I cannot access using https and port 82. With IE6 i have a message that the page cannot be displayed and with FF2 I have a message telling that it cannot connect to an encrypted connection because the certified has an invalid signature.

Any ideas?

 

GREAT
Now it's working. I can create folders and upload files under web-ftp.
Next step is install squirremail.

Many Thanks
